Rumor 1 - According to Ian in the GT Planet Q&A thread SMS has been scanning Interlagos (São Paulo) in Brasil in 2017. If that makes it into PCARS 2 as a DLC or is ment for maybe PCARS 3 is yet to be seen. :)

It would be the first track from the South America continent in the PCARS franchise so that itself is already great! The track is also on the F1 calendar each year and has a really nice flow with many passing opportunities (as demonstrated by Max Verstappen in the rain in 2016 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEO_iWCHaPE).

The "488 Challenge" class has been spotted in a developer stream with an early pre-release build hinting that the 2017 Ferrari 488 Challenge might come to the game as future DLC and race it its own 488 Challenge class. ;)

Soo.., according to what was given away yesterday, is there to expect one of the four DLC packs to be full lemans filled?, classic track and cars?. Not that I hold Lemans among as a favourite motor-sport discipline tbh

I hope Ian that at least one of these packs is then full factory cars charged, in which of course the presence of the F40 and 50 be, simply speaking, mandatory. Shouldn't be too hard btw since the two are already there, but sadly in their racing variants.

Also hoping for Mugello and Sebring, or another amazing point to point road stage, or closed driveclub style such as Bannochbrae.

Guys please don't expect any specific cars unless you have a source to back it up, you will just end up disappointed. I'm not saying it won't happen but I advise you to hold some restraint in terms of expectations as there are numerous factors that contribute to what will get added

But I would say that given it's popularity (I would say that it is probably the most requested car atm) SMS will have almost certainly given the Porsche LMP1 thought. So we will have to wait and see

Hmm I can think of plenty of Porsches and Ferraris that are 'Le Mans Icons'

I feel like those will be in their brand packs so I think the cars included in the Le Mans pack will be from other brands

Off the top of my head the most famous Le Mans brands: Jaguar, Peugeot, Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, Matra, Ford, Audi

Ford is probably a no as we have the MKIV already and the MKI and II therefore are probably not quite as worth the effort as other cars
Audi I feel like the R10 and R15 wouldn't have anything to compete with
We don't have any pre war cars atm so that seems fairly unlikely
Group 6 I feel like we have the obvious 2 already

A couple more group Cs are probable, we are still missing a few from the 3 years we already have (787B being less likely as it's a couple years later than our current field)
1950s cars seems like another obvious place for extra cars, D-Types or 300 SLRs would be a good fit here
Late 60s maybe 1 or 2 could fit in such as the Lolas

I feel like the early 70s are mainly Porsche and Ferrari so more likely in their respective packs but we don't have anything from that era atm

And I have even considered the lower classes yet, GT2/GTS maybe but there is a plethora of cars from lower tiers all through these different eras

Well that's all the speculation I can be bothered with atm but I think i've narrowed it down a tad

With at least 8 cars that's going to be a real treat whatever we get

What if we get 2 versions of lemans? one set for the 60-70's and one set for the 90's for LMP900, GT1 and fingers crossed GT2 cars?

90s is probably too close to the one we have, I reckon the most likely is probably eithet late 60s early 70s or late 80s (just before the chicanes). But it is a historic version of a track we already have so maybe having multiple years isn't completely off the table but I think it is fairly unlikely

This Gregor guy is spot on about the differences in tracks just listing it like that (what each game has over the other) If you don't know Dirt 4, it has Montalegre, Lydden Hill, Holjes, Hell and Loheac.

I always expected Brands Hatch RX in the base game since at that time not all tracks were announced yet. So maybe it's some leaked insider info.

Don't know if anyone else has bought this up but I noticed the following with a couple of car classes in the game.

Class with Ferraris P4, Lotus 30 and the GT40 is called Vintage Prototype B, but there isn't a Vintage Prototype A. Makes way nicely for an early 70s class with (no wishlisht, just some of the most obvious cars that would fit, and there are plenty more SMS could pick from) Porsche 917, Lola T70 Mk3B, Ferrari 512s, Chevron B16, Matra MS670 etc ;)

Also, Group C is called Group C1, and full of late 80s cars. Early 80s or early 90s Group C cars coming as Group C2? Or perhaps there were plans to split the low downforce and high downforce versions up that never happened??

Group C1 was called that in the 1st game as well. In real life Grpup C was split into C1 and C2 as well with C2 cars being the equivalent of LMP2. I don't think there were very many C2 cars in real life.

As for Vintage Prototypes I too am hoping for early 70s prototypes and considering we have a pack for classic Le Mans as well as Ferraris and Porsches we have 3 different oppurtunities to get some
Vintage Prototype A would logically be a faster class and would have to fit between the current class and Group 6
That being said the Historic Touring class in the 1st game was also labelled 'B' as well so I wouldn't call it a definite indication a new class being created

As much as I dislike dlcs (goes for all my games) they were really smart about it and just knowing there's a Nissan Skyline and Panoz Esperante waiting for me in the game, makes me want to buy it against my better judgment, but I probably should wait for the AI fix before I reward you with my coins and yes I know the Japanese car pack was a pre-order bonus, but I would gladly pick it up for $4.99 on Steam whenever it becomes available.

If this is all that makes you worry then you can at least expect those DLC cars to be as accurate as the cars that are already in. Though me too I don´t know what the real cars feel like I definitely find most of them are a real blast and feel absolutely believeable. No doubt the DLC cars will be of the same quality.

Got some new info for ya'll...

- Audi S1 Eks (Rallycross)
- Audi Sport Quattro S1 (Classic Rallycross)
- Ford Bronco RTR (Rumors of the Funhaver being moved into a Rallycross truck class to race with this)
- Porsche 961 (GTO) The car actually raced in the earliest days of GTP in the US, but I think the current batch of GR.C is just too fast.
- Porsche 991 RSR (GTE)
- Porsche Carrera GT (Holy stickshift Batman)

All these showed up in car files when some people on GTP looked through them. I've but what classes the cars are rumored to run in based on filename alone.

Throw in the DS3 Rallycross and we have 7 cars here. Boi!

Haha that Audi S1 Eks is great! Dirt 4 couldn’t license it and its the only noteworthy WRX car missing there. But Eks got Audi factory support since 2017 so yeah, I think the car can get licensed now via Audi. Great one!

Quattro S1 into rallycross is great! Need more classic RX since that Escort is so fun... and lonely. :)

Moving the RTR to rallycross is great as well! It’s big and bulky in Road G and doesn’t really fit with all the other cars there so great!

If we want to get really fun and crazy, why not FIA euro truck racing? It is in Forza. I think it'd be pretty badass to try one of these out!

Hmm I looked a bit at the Porsche 961 and it was built under Group B classifications and raced in IMSA's GTX class (equivalent of Group 5) as well as the GTP class in 1987 so it could be in a number of different classes in-game

The list isn't every DLC car coming I am guessing, it's missing a few. Also, in the game files are linking to DLC 6, 7, 8. Not sure what this means, but we could be having more than 4 packs.

The Audi is probably named 2016 because there is already one named 2014 in the game as well. They didn’t name the TS040 in its model name 2014 either. So that’s one more reason to believe this pack can be true. In game it will look like this then:

It’s the exact same thing as the Toyota GT-One (1998 and 1999) and The Bentley Continental GT3 (2015 and 2015).

If a car with the exact same model name appears twice SMS adds the year behind it.

I sure hope the TS050 is the 2016 model and not 2017. 2016 is the one that will be remembered for decades to come. 2017 we now already don’t talk about anymore lol

28-09-2017, 05:54

The only two minor complaints I have on the leaked DLC content so far is, it is a bit leaning too much on historical cars that some people may not like it. The other one is, I would want some of the smaller class like Group 4, TCR and so on expanded.

919 Hybrid was not on the list? I'd love to see the 2016 version though, together with the Audi and Toyota. ;)

But true about the 917K, Ian said in the Ozzie chat that the Le Mans pack was accompanied with cars that fit with classic Le Mans. So yes that 917K will for sure go there.

Fully agree! Also always this obsession with DLC and future content, I mean we have less than a week access to 180 cars which includes some true gems. I did hop in and out of cars quite a lot the last few days and I don't think I've even tried 30 of them.

Sometimes the real gems are also hidden in unexpected places. For example I took that old 70s BMW 2002 Turbo to Snetterton 100 a few days ago, just doing some laps in a time trial. Suddenly I can hear the rear tires gently giving me an invitation they are in the mood for drifting. I'm not even a drifter but I was like hmmm, let's check out how much they are in a mood for it. A little later I'm drifting all the way through that large corner, feeling/hearing the progression of the slide perfectly on a PS4 DualShock controller. I'm not even using the handbrake, the drift can gently be started just by the right speed and steering angle and then kept well under control with the right amount of throttle and steering.

I know we can be obsessed / hyped / disappointed / curious / whatever with future DLC content but guys, this game has endless combinations of car + track + time of day + weather conditions. There are some true gems to be found in the game thanks to the new physics engine. Here I am enjoying an old PCARS 1 car on an old PCARS 1 track which feels like a totally new experience just because of the improved mechanics in the game.

Go out there, pick a car you perhaps didn't like much in PCARS 1, pick a track and go have some fun!

I know it's hard to please everyone, in fact, impossible. But in all honesty it's a bit over-the-top. If all these rumors are true, a very big chunk of PCARS 2 will consist of just Ferraris and Porsches.

I understand these are huge licenses, but they're milking this as much as EA Games, Activision and Ubisoft milk their games. And I really don't want PCARS to become "one of those", I thought they were a bit more passionate. They finally added a 1969 Camaro, one of which I own myself in real life and it's great. Why not add more muscle cars? More rally cars? More iconic cars in general. Add some variety for crying out loud.

I actually don't recall seeing that many complaints about the lack of Ferrari and Porsche in PCARS 1, mostly complaints about the physics. Something which they have in my opinion fixed very, very nicely.

The main problem is, everyone wants something else. I, for example, have no love for muscle cars, especially vintage ones. But I would like to see the TCR roster fleshed out and on top of that some (5 - 6 cars would suffice :p) mid to late 90's BTCC cars.

By my reckoning we have evidence for 24 of the minimum 32 cars, which includes 3 Rallycross cars, 2 LMP1, 2 Modern GTs, 2 Group 5, 4 Vintage Prototypes, 1 Vintage GT, 2 other old GTs and maybe 8 Road, Trackday or 'other' cars. That is hardly lacking diversity from my point of view

As far as I can see this mostly adds a Porsche to several classes. So I see it basically as great having more diversity in the classes. It's not like they are everywhere in the game. Also, Porsche and Ferrari did have quite some history in Racing compared to other manufacturers.

I'm really happy to see them, and looking at our current classes they don't stand out that much.

And yes, more vintage diversity for the touring and GT series would be welcome.

I remember seeing the Ford RS200 back in 2012 in the design documents for the first game. Maybe this accompanies the Audi S1 quattro historic RX car, would be great!

The thing is, both Porsche and Ferrari have a long and treasured history in motorsports and road cars. I know the present game has a lot of Porsche and Ferrari but to be honest, what we have is just a small fraction of what these 2 brands can offer.

Personally, I am a bit mixed on this. While I love to see these Porsches and Ferraris, I would like to see other manufacturers get some love too. Nevertheless, they all looks interesting to me, though.

Even AC has the same problem now, too many Porsches and Ferraris but they are awesome to drive.

I was looking forward to get some super touring cars such as the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti, Opel Calibra, etc. and a few iconic '90s WRC classics and I'm honestly disappointed with that generic car roster.

That car is can be almost anything other than generic. Some of those cars, like Carrera Gt, 917K, 919, 458, F12 and 512BB are the cars that I had been waiting to drive in a game.

We do need a 512S to pair with the 917K.

Add the assumed classes to it :-)

And maybe note the rumoured class change for the F-150 RTR from road G to rallycross as well.

I'll put them under 'Off Road Truck'

And I've stuck this list on to the first post, it's way easier to read this way

If you think we can narrow down the Road cars to a specific class, I'll add that as well

Well if that list is true then basically every Porsche I want will be in, not to mention the updated Audi and Toyota LMPs. :D

Not really a Ferrari fan but there is one older road car I hope is one of the unnamed slots, to go against that 959.

Please remember guys, nothing is official until it gets released or announced.

During development we saw tracks come and go due to various reasons and there is no reason why this cant happen with these files as well.

Also remember with PCars 1 and the "leaked season pass"......yes that didn't come to fruition either (yes, i'm still bitter about Macau!), so please don't get hopes up based upon some files in the code.

I have mixed feelings about this so-called list of future content (to confirm or disprove). On the one hand I am glad to see that apparently they listened to those who asked for the cars GTE and LMP1 that they lacked of a certain mark. But on the other hand a disappointment that they still can not get the licenses of some good race cars, as for example: Peugeot 908 LMP1, the DPi of the IMSA Series (Cadillac, Nissan, Mazda), the Oreca 05/07 LMP2, and the Mazda 787b of the Group C.

As for the circuits, I still think that 4 new circuits is still very little, ideally it would be possible to have 8 or 10 new circuits, since they are being left out several that are well known and in some cases classic in other similar games (like Sebrings, Paul Riccard, Road Atlanta, Jerez).

No no i can't believe it if these rumors will be true it's a disaster.. so dlc cars are just tons of porsche and ferrari with some rallycross and off road trucks??! Really? Wow
What about more touring cars modern and old? What about the new TCR series with all brand new cars? More Aussie v8? More gt3/gt1 cars modern and vintage? BTCC cars? i won't never preorder a PC game with season pass in future...
If i want rallycross i buy DIRT 4!
This game want to do too many things, no one asked for rally cross and ice tracks in this game

I think all this is due to licensing and contract issues, which are apparently bound to meet them. Just as in the PCars1 many players complained because most of the new cars for DLC were not race cars, but mostly street/stock cars.

Good grief. In addition to every circuit from pCars1 returning, with the exception of the full Mojave layout, we got a healthy injection of new circuits as well. The roster jumped from 36 locations with 100 unique strings to 53 locations with 145 unique strings.*

Also, aren't we getting six new locations, not four? Don't two of the planned dlc's come with two locations a piece? If you ask me, SMS went above and beyond giving us new pieces of tarmac to run on. Sure, we all have personal likes we'd like to see in the game, but as it stands, I know the current track roster is going to keep me busy for a long time to come.

*My list skills may not be as boss as breyzipp's so the numbers may vary by a small amount. Not to mention, I bundled historics into their proper locations and the like.

You know... I completely fail to understand this reply in any possible way. When I first went through that leaked list seeing all three 2016 LMP1-H cars listed I had to think about you and all your dozens of repetitive forum posts asking for the newer LMP1 cars. I was thinking, man Kanetaker must be jumping through the roof from happiness and excitement now, this is like his perfect wishlist with all 3 LMP1 contenders in their final competitive year being represented. This is the year with the heartbreaking Toyota problems 6 minutes before the race end that will be remembered and talked about for decades. With Audi gone for 2017 and Porsche as well for 2018 that 2016 year will probably go down in history as the final competitive LMP1-H year with an epic ending for Le Mans.
Now I come here to the forum seeing you have "mixed feelings" about this list. You are "glad" (I repeat: glad. That's not overjoyed, that's not hyped, that's not hysterical, that's not overwhelmed, that's .... just... glad) that they are in the game and you are also disappointed "that they still can not get the licenses of some good race cars". Are you serious??? I could go on about this but it would be borderline to getting personal and I don't want to insult you or anything, god knows why each of us hang around on these forums, I'm sure we all have our story, for some it might be pure sim racing enthusiasm, for others it might be an escape away from problems in real life. But I sincerely hope PCARS 2 is the only thing in your life you have such a sad and depressive attitude towards. Try to focus on the great things in life that make you happy, be it the real world or in the virtual one. Be positive, be happy, irradiate that towards people and you will get it back in return as well.

My comment has to do with the fact that on the one hand I am very happy to finally include 3 of the LMP1-H that I expected to see (together with the last GTE remaining), but on the other hand I miss other cars for other categories (LMP2, DPi, LMP1-L, Modern DTM, 90's - 2000 F1 cars, and Group C), as well as the theme of the tracks.

In short: "It was not perfect as I expected but .. I'm partly satisfied".

What surprises me most is the case of the Mazda 787b that is present in all other racing games like FM, AC, GTS, RF (apparently has no exclusivity contract) except in PCars ... despite the request of many fans, and considering that in the game is the Mazda RadBull .. although I think that if a vote were made to choose between the RadBull and the 787b, would end up winning the 787b by wide margin.

The 787B is two years newer than any of the other Group Cs we have, it doesn't really make much sense to have it
As for liscensing, the RadBull is the only Mazda we have- there is probably a reason for that,
I think the lisensing for the RadBull probably had very little to with Mazda themselves

The 787b is the newest but not the fastest Group C car. The only advantage that car had against its rivals was its great mechanical reliability even using an aggressive set-up to squeeze the car beyond its mechanical resistance, which was why it was able to win the 1991 edition of Le Mans. Thus, while rivals were forced to slow down to preserve the mechanics of their cars, the 787B's rotary engine was able to withstand a sprint pace throughout the 24-hour race. However, in short runs (less than 12 hours), the other cars were clearly much faster, so that should be compensated for the fact that there is a 1991 Group C car competing against other cars Group C of the 80's. Considering that most online races both public and private championships usually do not exceed more than 4 hours, then there should not be much advantage for the 787b.

On the other hand, if you say that because of the difference of years (and performance) between the 787b with respect to the other Group C cars is a reason why they can not put that car in the game, then how does it explain that they do go to put the 3 LMP1 cars of the 2016 season? (in case of being confirmed that supposed list of new cars). Since in theory the LMP1 of 2016 must be faster than the 2 LMP1 of 2014 available in the game. All this contradicts this argument against the 787b.

PD: It is likely that the Mazda Red Bull was cheaper to get, but it is not a car that the vast majority of fans asked to see inside the game in that post called "What cars do you want to see in-game?". In addition, I see that I am not the only person who has this opinion, regarding the fact that many asked for certain cars and tracks, and instead we end up offering totally different things and almost nobody asked:

After 2 years plus of playing Pcars 2 dev build, I am still scratching the surface of what's offered in the game. i think I am still quite bad at some of the rarely appeared tracks in other games like Sugo or Fuji.

I am quite happy with the DLCs so far based on what leaked at the moment. I do feel that it is a bit too many Porsche and Ferrari, despite the cars they picked are utterly fantastic cars. I just hope that there would be more TCR, GT4 and other brands like Cadillac, Chervolet and so on with little cars in the game.

Personally, I quite enjoyed RX. On tarmac tracks as they felt like F1 engines in small hatches with barely any top speed.

You got your new LMP1s and yet it is not enough. And whatever is known at the moment, that is not even the full list of DLC cars as DLC is probably still months away.

Personally, I think 787B is not suitable for the current crop of Group C. It might need the last few Group Cs to go with it. The 787B pretty much destroys the C9 and the 962C in AC, despite it is only a few years newer than the 2. Kunos does not do any BoP towards the cars so it is pretty much raw data they got from manufacturers.

And personally, I am not sure if SMS has the full Mazda license as if they do, it does not make any sense for them to sit on the license and did not get any other Mazda cars. We would have some Mazda road cars or race cars by now then. And knowing how well SMS knows about racing, if it is doable and suitable, they would had done it by now without you asking for it as they know the cars from past and present very very well.

I think the Merc DTM is gone because licensing meant that nothing could be done with the car in terms of liveries or any integration into career. And for all we know the licensing may have only applied to the first game and it was decided that it wasn't worth the costs to do it again because of the limitations on how they could use it in the game. I too am sad to see it gone but I can understand that from a business perspective it probably wasn't worth the effort when there are many other cars that could be fully integrated into all aspects of the game.

Because Ferrari and Porsches have a very treasured and varied history that spans almost a century. These 2 brands have plenty of interesting cars developers can bring into the game. Heck, even look at the Porsche and Ferrari packs in AC with what we know in Pcars 2, there are still quite a fair bit of variety between the vehicles chosen.

I think it is also partly the hype of having these cars in games like AC and Pcars but I think it is sort of ok.

You have to remember here as well that apart from a few officially licensed titles over the years, Ferrari and Porsche were absent from most racing games. You'll remember most racing games got around the Porsche issue by getting a licence for RUF cars, a marque I'd never even heard off before the likes of Gran Turismo introduced me to it.

I think it's just a case of developers wanting to have these cars in the stable now as, as other have said here, they have a long and rich history of awesome machinery to pick though.

I can see why some people would be put off by a rake of Porkers and Fezzas though in line with other titles. I mean I'm a lover of old J-Tin and 90's Touring cars. I'd give my eye teeth for an N2 Toyota AE86 for example.

I don't think your argument is totally invalid or anything and don't take this the wrong way but... if what DLC might be included in the Season Pass was a worry you could have just as easily bought the version without the Season Pass and then bought the DLC you did want a-la-carte as it's revealed/released. Then you get to see what comes out and either tuck in or pass on it. Okay you then take the gamble on if it's all DLC you want, you'll pay more in the long run... but you aren't then locked into this scenario where you've paid for something you don't want.

The WTCC and DTM licenses are exclusive to RaceRoom / Sector 3. SMS nearly licensed the V8 Supercars but V8SC mgmt wanted more Aussie tracks in the game. BTCC is stuck in licensing hell because of an exclusive they signed years ago that never required the licensor to actually produce a game.

Tank621

29-09-2017, 12:36

I think the issue with Supercars is that there aren't any scans of most of the tracks and so SMS would have to do the lot themselves. Which would be very expensive for a relatively small scale company based on the other side of the world

Yes. To acquire the V8SC license, they would have to include every track of the championship. So they would have to send a whole team down under to scan every track. These costs alone are immense. But even more though the sheer workload SMS would have actually modelling the tracks after they have been scanned.
If I recall correctly, Ian said in the livestream with Ozzie, that the costs were too high, even if they would make it a standalone game.

It's probably too expensive in the begining for circuits to have a 3D scan of the track done... and to what end? They would have to then put it into some kind of simulator at the circuit to get any tangible use out of it. Maybe so people could sim race the track virtually at the actual circuit... for a fee of course. Which is kind of counter intuitive as I'm sure most circuits would rather you went there and did an experience day or a track day in an actual car and charge you for that.

I can't imagine what kind of money it takes to maintain a racing circuit but when you look at the likes of the German F1 Grand Prix, which had to go 50/50 between Hockenheim and Nurburgring as they couldn't afford to pay Formula 1 the money to come race there, it must cost a fair bit if they are struggling to run them at or near any kind of profit. I don't know if all championships run the same way as F1 does in regards to circuit selection but basically it seems the circuit is relying on paying big money for a championship to come race there and hoping its enough of a draw to recoup the money they spent setting it up back through ticket sales and concessions.

On the topic of DLC, what I'd really love to see besides cars and tracks (which are of course always welcome) is a high resolution pack, ideally encompassing either pumped up and slightly less repetitive track/road surface textures as well as more detailed car skins/liveries.

Especially on an Ultra HD Screen, you really learn to appreciate true high res assets, with lower quality ones tending to stand out even more. I know that this would certainly come at a price, with increased VRAM usage and potentially huge download sizes (looking at you, Forza Motorsport 7) only to mention the more obvious, but I think it will definitely help pushing the game to another level (visually that is).

Personally, I'd gladly be willing to pay for it too, knowing that developing high quality assets usually requires a lot of work and time (especially when made from scratch) and I think this should not go unrewarded in case SMS decides to go the extra mile.

Apart from the odd first/third person shooter game, Grid Autosport springs to mind as an example of a racing game that has received a high resolution pack after release. Eventually also the launch of the Xbox One X may help in deciding in favor of e.g. adopting a similar strategy used in FM7, where the souped-up device will get higher res assets/textures compared to the base version.

Nurburgring did that. As far as I remember they have a clause in licensing where if you wish to feature a laser scanned version of the circuit you must use their data. It would be beneficial to Nurburgring to do so because they would not have to close Nordschleife to accommodate a developer team which would mean tourists are not paying to drive. They have probably more than covered the costs now. They have a pretty unique set-up though.

You'd think it would be similar to the Le Mans circuit in a sense as the Mulsanne is literally a public road and it would cost a lot to close it for a few days-weeks.

Ok. Your Gow quote is more recent than my information. It was about 4-5 years ago he commented about returning to the job, wanting to do a BTCC game and then finding out they'd signed this arrangement (presumably with EA). It must have lapsed.

I'm going out on a limb here but I'm doubtful we'll see the Porsche 935/78 as DLC because we already have two versions of it in the main game. I also think we won't see anymore off road trucks for the same reason we're likely not to see Daytona Beach; being SMS are waiting to develop deformable surfaces which will probably be in PC3. The third DLC pack will be "Le Mans Icons" or "Le Mans Legends". In the list above there are 7-8 cars which have raced at Le Mans; so this might be the suite; though I'd be surprised if they did not include the Ferrari 512M and Porsche 911 RSR from the 1970s which were be more fitting a "Legends" pack than any of the contemporary P1s or GTE Porsche.

Fair point.

There's ten Porsches in the list above. We know that eight cars will be in each pack. Two Porsches for a Le Mans legends pack would be too few. Similarly, including 6-7 Le Mans Porsches in the dedicated Porsche pack seems too much. There's bound to be more Porsches that we don't know about.

Ditto the Ferraris. Seven in the list above.

By my reckoning there are 7 Porsches in that list that have competed at Le Mans but of those I'd say only the 917 LH and 935/78 were specifically built for Le Mans

It's probably too expensive in the begining for circuits to have a 3D scan of the track done... and to what end? They would have to then put it into some kind of simulator at the circuit to get any tangible use out of it. Maybe so people could sim race the track virtually at the actual circuit... for a fee of course. Which is kind of counter intuitive as I'm sure most circuits would rather you went there and did an experience day or a track day in an actual car and charge you for that.

I can't imagine what kind of money it takes to maintain a racing circuit but when you look at the likes of the German F1 Grand Prix, which had to go 50/50 between Hockenheim and Nurburgring as they couldn't afford to pay Formula 1 the money to come race there, it must cost a fair bit if they are struggling to run them at or near any kind of profit. I don't know if all championships run the same way as F1 does in regards to circuit selection but basically it seems the circuit is relying on paying big money for a championship to come race there and hoping its enough of a draw to recoup the money they spent setting it up back through ticket sales and concessions.

To be quite honest, laser scanning in itself isn't that expensive. In my work we use it all the time, I would say a cost of 20 to 30 grand for point cloud would be reasonable. What is cost consuming is converting the point cloud into a working 3d model.

Now, if the 1972 Ferrari 312 PB could make it , along with the 1973 Coda Lunga LM version, that would be awesome !

I really like those Porsches :cool:

Ok. Your Gow quote is more recent than my information. It was about 4-5 years ago he commented about returning to the job, wanting to do a BTCC game and then finding out they'd signed this arrangement (presumably with EA). It must have lapsed.

I had thought about the same thing until I saw that as well.

The beauty of the 917/10 is that is opens the door for a new class! SMS has always been good about having 2 or 3 cars per class. Obvious partner would be a McLaren M20, which would again open the door to the M6 and the early Can-Am cars like the Lolas and Chaparrals. Add Riverside too, it is an important track in American racing history.

Well, the 917/10 raced as much (if not more) in Interserie as in Can-Am, so it might not bring more Can-Am content.

Although, I wouldn't say no to some Can-Am cars and tracks ! :D

I wouldn't think they would make a seperate class for the 917/10, when it did actually race against the 917K irl in interserie but I guess we will have to wait and see. That is of course depending on whether or not it's added as we can't actually guarantee that any of these cars will be added without official confirmation.

Not sure they'll open a new class. The announced DLC packages don't seem to leave much room for other can-am cars to be added. I also think I read somewhere awhile ago that they had maxed out the number of classes they could have in the game.

That is probably why the Raptor is in Road G with the road cars.

Well either way the 917/10 will probably be my first time driving a 70s Can-Am racecar in a game, I can't actually think of any other games that have them off the top of my head apart from Forza but those are all from the 60s

And the vintage Porsche prototypes are in the same year range as many of the Vintage GT and Touring Cars so that will be great for historic multiclass racing

I mean, the 488 challenge is in it's own class and there still a Vintage Prototype A, and Offroad Truck Rallycross class to come? They probably ran out of room to ship the game on launch day, but now I'm sure they could add a couple more... Hints the rumors of the Funhaver being moved to race with other SUV's and trucks.

Must admit I'm a little disappointed in the lack of manufacturer variety in the dlcs. I definitely wanted to see more than just Porsche and Ferrari.

I wanted to see some Dodge, and more IMSA cars (ie Cadillac DPi, The Delta Wing from a couple of years ago, Daytona Prototypes)

I too would love to see a racing truck. The only time I ever got to try one was in ToCA Race Driver 3 about 1million years ago.

Flesh out the 60's Grand Prix cars and tracks would float my boat... Can you imagine GPL but with all the physics, attributes, and graphics etc of PCars2 :)

I literally play the 60s GP classes just to watch the suspension work, it's hypnotic

Seeing as though the rights to the DeltaWing design is a legal nightmare in real life, there's practically zero chance you'll see it in any game ever.

FTFY. Remember, until it's official, it's not happening.

Even more so with Toyota's considering there aren't ANY in the recent Forza 7 game. Seems they might be shying away from having there cars in racing games all of a sudden.

Unless SMS decide to not use the TS050 they successfully licenced...

License != guarantee. IIRC, there's been one or more vehicles dating back to the first game that were licensed, but never made it into the game.

I can think of at least 2 that didn't make it in to the 1st game or the 2nd

Is this it for tracks :(
With the quality and popularity of LongBeach i really hope we can get more Street circuits, Sebring, Adelaide and Albert Park just to name a few.
Please, please, please....

Just look at the tracklist of GT Sport (only 8 real life tracks) and AC (only 15 real life tracks) and Forza 7 (only 26 real life tracks) and then come back to PC2 and realize it has 44 real life tracks not even including the RX tracks and the dlc tracks.
